| Regarding wireless in China. It wouldn't really make sense for the cities in China to go wireless when 90% of the population can't afford to have a computer. The 10% are the elite few which ends up being like half a billion people already. (I'm guestimating here) As he Jian Shuo mentioned, you can get wireless at some of the coffee shops here in Shanghai, but then only the well off can afford a 30RMB cup of coffee. You have to remember that the average wage in Shanghai is only around 2000RMB a month. (~8RMB=1USD). My guess is that the more affluent office worker makes around double that on average (4000RMB). I know many of us living in China have some sort of broadband but I also know that many people still dialup to get access. The time that people have broadband is when they are working in their office. At my office, wifi and mobile phones (for guests) are banned due to security reasons. Maybe Jian Shuo can enlighten us a little as he's more experienced in China. |
